For my "day job", aside from being an artist, I am a Park Ranger. I have worked all over the United States in some of the most beautiful places on Earth including Mount St. Helens, the Grand Canyon, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Biscayne National Park. This job reflects my lifelong passion and love for the natural world, and my desire to protect, preserve and defend it  as much as I can.  With the threat of permanent destruction of these places and others like it all over the world increasing everyday from our current administration and idiot President, large fossil fuel companies, developers, and other businesses only interested in making money instead of preserving our only home, it is imperative that all of us do what we can to protect the natural world and all of the creatures and plants, big and small, with whom we SHARE this planet with. Once its gone, its gone forever. As well as our own species.
